| **For example**, an employee buys a $600 standing desk and is reimbursed by the cooperative. Since the standing desk depreciates (that is, loses value due to wear and tear) over 3 years, after one year the standing desk is valued at $400. So when the employee decides to leave the cooperative 2 years after the purchase of the standing desk, it is valued at $200. The departing employee would then need to pay the cooperative $200. Alternatively, the cooperative could deduct \$200 from the departing employee’s internal member capital account. | |||

| **Expenses:** will be reimbursed on a month to month basis as they are incurred. They do not result in a potential future liability for the member (unlike asset purchases) since they’re being consumed continuously. This is meant to cover things like membership at a co-working space, improved home internet service for work purposes, an off-site backup service for your computer, enrollment in online courses for continuing education, etc. Monthly expense reimbursements to a member shall be limited to the total per-member reimbursement budget divided by the number of months in the rolling reimbursement period. Given the current limits of $3,300 every 36 months this works out to 2\*($3,300/36 mo) = **\$183.33/mo**. If a member has an expense greater than this amount, they can get reimbursed for it in installments over multiple months, so long as they remain a member. | |||

Since this is being substituted using Jinja, we can calculate this $183.33 value too.
... to 2\*({{ tech_stipend }}/36 mo) = **\${{ (tech_stipend.replace('$', '') | float / 36 * 2) | round(2) }}/mo**.
Or, alternatively, we could make all the numbers in the dictionary actually numbers - and then format them with {{ "{:,}".format(var_name) }} instead of doing some parsing BS. I think that's probably the nicer way to handle this.

Great idea! Just pushed the fix. I tried to create a custom Jinja filter to apply the formatting logic so but couldn't figure it out 🤷

The final inflation number was %2.9.
I grabbed the new Solo 401k numbers from here.
